Atlanta boys on Tony Awards show
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Boyd Gaines — who just picked up a Tony for his portrayal of Mama Rose’s love interest, Herbie, in “Gypsy” — is an Atlanta native. This is his fourth Tony Award. He was nominated for his performance in last year’s play revival winner, “Journey’s End,” and won for “Contact” (2000), “She Loves Me” (1994) and “The Heidi Chronicles” (1989).
Gaines, 55, moved to California with his parents the summer before his senior year in high school, meaning he’s been away from Georgia for almost 40 years. He attended Juilliard and later gained fame as Valerie Bertinelli’s dentist-husband on “One Day at a Time.”
Meanwhile, Westminster Schools grad Shuler Hensley — who won a Tony and an Olivier Award for his portrayal of Jud Fry in Trevor Nunn’s “Oklahoma!” — was featured in the performance from Mel Brooks’ “Young Frankenstein.” True to character, Hensley uttered not a word, while “Will and Grace” star Megan Mullally dug into “Deep Love” with comic brio.
